Are the Rumours of Trump’s Hair Transplant True? Is Trump Going Bald?
Posted by Santana Fell on Jul 05, 2024
Donald Trump's infamous orange/blonde/yellow hair in its staple comb-overs; is as interesting a topic of discussion as his political career and personal life.
Trump’s hair has often drawn attention and been a hot topic of discussion, with internet sleuths and trolls making much of it. One common theme in their comments and speculations is the notion of Trump having multiple hair transplant surgeries and even going bald. Besides, of course, undergoing several cosmetic surgeries like liposuction, chin reduction, etc.
His recent 2024 presidential debate against the current US President, Joe Biden, caused quite an uproar on the internet, once again bringing his hair under sharp scrutiny. During the debate, even Biden took the opportunity to take a jab at Trump’s hair and his insensitive comments during the pandemic, saying, “Remember when he was trying to deal with Covid, and he said just inject a little bleach in your vein? He missed; it all went to his hair.”
Trump has been in the news lately courtesy of his hush-money case. His ‘Helmet hair’ again garnered the spotlight in one such public appearance. But what caused an internet frenzy was a recent video that went viral, exposing Trump’s visibly balding head when a gust of wind decided not to play sport. To say his hair is thinning would be an understatement.
People were quick to notice the convicted former president's unusual, unkempt mane, and it didn't take long before they went vocal about it on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).

Here are some comments from various social media pictures and videos doing the rounds on Trump’s hair:
"Is Trump finally going bald?"
"His hair is really thinning."
"It is quite obvious from this photo that TFG [The Former Guy] is mostly bald. That bad combover isn't fooling anyone."
"What goes on with his hair?"
"Did he forget to put on his orange hairpiece?"
"What's happened to his hair?"
"They forgot to put Trump's hair on for the photo."
"poorly rendered gmod model."
"This is the worst 2004 video game I've ever experienced in my life. I can't even take out the walking skeleton 10 feet away."
"No wonder why he hates wind. His transplants can’t get weaved enough to cover everything,"
"The only thing working harder than his lawyers is his plugs right now against the wind."
He was even compared to a PS2 video game character.
Former President Donald Trump is probably a classic case of a hair transplant gone wrong. His mane is no secret! Even though he claims he does not use a wig, toupee, or hairpiece or has undergone a transplant, experts think otherwise.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Linkov (left) claimed in a YouTube video that he believed Trump had undergone transplants. He said, 'If you look closely, you'll see what appears to be small islands of hair. I believe he may have had a procedure involving plug grafts.'
A controversial new biopic, 'The Apprentice,' which was made without input from Trump, 77, depicts the ex-president. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and shows the real estate tycoon went under the knife to shed pounds and restore his thinning hair in the 1970s and 1980s. This film has yet to be released to the public and might not, considering his spokesperson threatened a defamation lawsuit against the makers.
Did Trump have a hair transplant?
The subject has garnered such widespread interest that entering ‘Donald Trump Hair’ into a search engine yields more than 67 million results.
We’ve told you what others think, so let's dive in and find out what people who know him personally say.
Based on comparison between pictures of his younger days and now, we can quickly tell that his hairline has made a major comeback. In previous photos, his hairline appeared to have receded more, especially near the front temporal areas.
For a man well into his 70s, it's hardly easy to believe that age has not affected his hair much. Yet Trump’s hair has been sporting consistent density and coverage over many years. Besides, his hairline appears lower than in his earlier youthful days, which is definitely against the natural progression.
Genetically, Trump’s brother and father went bald early, so it is highly unlikely that he skipped those genes.
All these logical factors make the speculations of Trump’s hair transplant even more believable. He denied all these allegations and claimed that ‘his hair is all his own,’ which is technically accurate because even a hair transplant procedure uses your own hair.
But now, let's talk about more concrete proof of his hair transplant and surgical interventions.
Ivana Trump, Trump’s first wife, had previously mentioned that Donald Trump underwent scalp reduction surgery.
This claim is supported in Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," where Ivanka Trump is said to have shared similar information about her father having a scalp reduction procedure.
Additionally, there are assertions that Donald Trump might have opted for a "hair flap" transplant, a method now outdated due to its harsh effects on the scalp and the unnatural appearance it creates.
Tom Arnold, an actor and comedian, also weighed in, sharing his personal conversation with Trump about undergoing a similar painful scalp reduction surgery, which Trump suggested acted like a facelift despite the significant discomfort and need for pain medication it involved.
Do you want a full head of hair without a hair transplant?
It is common knowledge that hair transplants are expensive and painful, leave visible scars, take time to heal, and show good growth, but they are not even permanent for many people.
